Im sure its a load of fun. I just like Rendezvous best. A lot more activity, along with the crafts of the trade. Im not really into bp cartridge either, but that's one still holds more interest over inline shooting. I have a harder time finding accurate reloads for my 7.62x54 than I do an inline lol.

Take note that all those rifles are considered "custom" and all but one is a .45cal. These are the "hot rod" shooters and classified as Master.
The IH results hadn't been posted yet this morning, where those who maybe using sabots will be shooting.

I wasn't there for medical reasons, but I'm hearing there's many new rules associated with inline shooting coming.

To Muley.......... Maybe the forum you like is listed at the top of the page, called Traditional?

What I copied was there long before the Traditional forum was started.

I have no problem with the competition shooting. Don't they have a forum for that? Like you said those guns are all custom and not something a hunter can use.

This is Huntingnet.

Three things you must remember while target shooting. (1) Align the sights carefully. (2) Squeeze the trigger. (3) Say how did it get over there.

that made me laugh so hard! I have days like that.

Oddly you are wrong. Bestill took a deer with one of his customs not long ago. I cant imagine why the Knight 500 wouldn't do just fine if you don't mind a 10lb rifle. The load they used even with a conical would easily take down pretty much anything with hooves.

Of all those who have read or responded, it appears you're the only one offended by the post, on a forum you don't own. I'd bet others found it very interesting. You can refrain from reading these/this and allow those who are interested to read/learn.

Also as pointed out, the "something a hunter can use" results haven't came out yet.

For the record (or your amusement), those custom rifles shot in the indicated match...... ARE USED for hunting too.

When you replace a barrel with something custom, does the gun manf. still get credit for the win even though it wasn't 100% their product?

That wasn't my point. The average hunter is not going to build a gun like that to hunt. Of, course it will work for hunting if you already have one. Most guns will.
